What You Will Learn

Ensuring App Quality with Continuous Integration

In this lesson, you’ll setup a continuous integration (CI) system with buddybuild so that you can test your apps like the pros. You'll learn how to configure a project with a simplified version of GitFlow, a commonly used Git branching structure well-suited for collaborative, professional projects. Also, you'll write unit and UI tests to verify the core functionality of an app.

Continuous Deployment with One Seamless System

In this lesson, you'll continue to improve your development process by configuring a continuous deployment and delivery system using buddybuild. You'll learn how buddybuild quickly adds and provision devices on your behalf for testing so there is no delay in getting new builds in front of your users. Then, to complete the feedback loop, you'll utilize the buddybuild SDK to consolidate issues and requests into a single location with rich visual descriptions and debugging information.
